KMBC 9 political reporter Micheal Mahoney said more than 3 million Missourians are expected to vote Tuesday. Unlike Kansas, the state does not make advance voting an option for people who expect to be at home on Election Day.

Democrats said they've signed up almost 130 attorneys to watch polling places and deal with any election challenges that come up. The Kansas City Election Board said 15 Republican observers have been signed up.

Democratic attorney Steve Bough said his party signed up attorneys to make sure legal voters have a chance to cast ballots. He said he doesn't anticipate any problems because, he said, "Republicans around here don't play games" with voters at the polls.

In Jackson County, which has more polling locations than Kansas City, Mo., 18 Republican poll watchers and 10 Democrats have registered to be on hand on Election Day.
